Linda is one of the finest, funniest female clowns in America. She is the "Clown of Many Faces" that brings a host of Clown Characters with costumes and props to provide a unique experience every time she performs. What does that mean? That she has four characters with walk around props to bring to your event -- "PJ" the total school girl nerd; "Shylo" the high energy cute one (at least she thinks so!); "Flo" the diner waitress with pizazz; and "Gladys Pumpernickel" the forever cleaning Carol Burnett type mime. And, YES! THEY ARE ALL LINDA! Four clowns for the price of one!
She has had the distinct good fortune to spread her clowning antics for more than 20 years from the West Coast of the United States to Russia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Singapore. She has even toured with the Yankee Doodle Circus in New York and beyond. As a children/family entertainer she brings smiles to everyone she meets and greets. She has that lovable charm that makes every child -- young or young at heart -- feel special and treats them all with care and attention . Most Fairs bring her back year after year because of her willingness to provide the best show possible and her continual good natured attitude.
Walk around entertainment is second nature to her clown characters and is one of Linda's strong points. She has won numerous awards for her creativity, enthusiasm and interactivity. Seeing her perform is a one of a kind experience. Everyone who meets "PJ", "Shylo", "Flo" or "Gladys" never forgets the experience and talks about it long after she is gone.
Her clown characters have even been used as models for paintings and figurines throughout the world. She has been featured in many of the original Clown artwork pieces by the late Chuck Oberstein, and has posed for many statues by Ron Lee. She receives no royalties from the pieces -- she just loves clowning!
Her clowns can do anything! -- Help with crowd control by working the lines, conduct a Clown Magic Show, provide an MC for a show or presentation to add that little spark of humor, or organize and MC contests to turn a quiet setting into a moment of laughter. Linda is an expert at specialty routines and portraying multiple characters and gives the same degree of care and professionalism whether performing in your living room, at a Fair, festival, amusement park, convention center, or the neighborhood Community Center, hospital or shelter.
Linda shares her love of clowning with those around her. She has taught others the performing art of clowning at Clown Schools, Conventions and Workshops in the Western United States, Wisconsin, New York and many more. Her friends like to call her the "Dr. Laura of Clowning" because she genuinely cares for them, is quick with a smile and a hug,, and is genuinely helpful in mentoring new clowns.
As a child she dreamed of being a clown. How wonderful to be one of the best! Transport yourself into a world of fun and frolic as you meet these zany characters all rolled up into one great entertainer.
